1/01/1970We hired Anselmo to do brick edging and paver work on a massive project in our back yard. This is the 3rd time we have had them do work... read more for us and they did not disappoint. This project has dragged on for over a year and a half secondary to our previous contractor and I'm delighted that Anselmo and his crew were so prompt to come give us a quote and had the job completed beautifully in less than 2 weeks. They are kind and courteous, cleaned up after each day's work, arrived on time and did an excellent job.
We will definitely hire AG & Associates again when we need more brick/block or paver work done.
Thank you!

We worked with Anselmo and the AG team on a complete redesign of our backyard, including demolition of the existing set up: old decks, loose bricks, outdated pergola, overrun vegetation,... read more and out of code concrete steps. The team worked with the designs we had drawn up with a different contractor, worked them exactly to the specifications we had but Anselmo also talked through other ideas, gave us options on if we did it this way or that way, while never pressuring us one way or the other.
The teams he has are dedicated to specific parts of the job, the demo crew was always early, they start at 7am, very friendly, easy going, they would make faces and dance when they saw our young children interested in what they were doing.
The construction and gardening/landscape teams were also very punctual, the only delay we had was for custom wood beams we needed to be made, which was delayed because of a 3rd party contractor and really no ones fault outside of simple economics and supply and demand.
Electrician and Fence work was subcontracted through Anselmo, we wanted him to essentially be the GC on the project for us, which he happily did. Both contractors were also great, easy going, talked through ideas/pricing, gave recommendations but never pushed.
Ultimately Anselmo and the team are top notch, experienced and reliable professionals. The pricing was established before the contract was signed and stuck do. Any change order that we made was discussed in detail and done because we wanted to add something: lights, outdoor speakers, etc.
You won't go wrong with this team, period. Highly
Recommend and we can't wait to use them again for part 2 of the backyard remodel.Matt K.
1/01/1970AG & Associates remodeled both my front and back yards in the spring and we have been thoroughly enjoying both spaces this past summer. I am extremely pleased with... read more their craftsmanship, quality of work, and attention to detail. Their crews are experienced, friendly, and thorough and did a great job of communicating the work being done at each stage of the project. I enthusiastically recommend them for anyone looking to beautify their home.
I started working with their designer to draft detailed plans that captured my vision for each area. He has decades of experience and provided excellent advice on landscaping, hardscape materials, and city ordinances. He showed me completed projects of his other clients and recommended trusted vendors and brands.
After the plans were completed and materials selected, AG began the removal of all the existing concrete and landscaping. Next, the drainage was installed and grading completed. The crews worked fast and completed this phase smoothly.
I was also working with two other contractors to refinish my existing pool and install an adjustable, louvred patio cover and we all worked together to coordinate efforts and ensure proper execution. The pavers and the hardscape in the front yard were completed first with only the landscaping remaining. The pavers, outdoor kitchen, fireplace, patio cover, and pool refinishing were all done next. Finally, the landscaping in the front and back were completed.
After living with the yard for a few months, I am very pleased with the all of the design elements and construction details that were chosen. For example, we decided to install the hot tub in a sunken concrete vault with drainage for easy entry/exit and we are very happy with it. Also, the craftsmanship and high quality of work on the outdoor kitchen and fireplace shine through every time I use them.
My family and I couldn't be happier with our new front and back yards and we are looking forward to making memories in them for many years to come.Tony B.
1/01/1970I'm a little late to be leaving this review (April 27) but Anselmo and his crew were amazing. I got a pretty accurate estimate just from emailing Anselmo and when... read more I was going on a vacation, he saved my place in line so when I got back, the project started rather quickly. I wanted a relatively small patch of grass (Approx. 320 sqft) turned into a driveway. Most of the contractors I spoke with either had minimal charges or were telling me pavers would be cheaper over concrete. Ultimately, I went with AG & Associates because I've seen the quality work they did for my grandma and they offered a competitive price compared to the other contractors. It took them a day to demo and prep the old lawn and another day to lay out the rebar and fill in with concrete. The crew was courteous and clean up after themselves and did a fantastic job getting the new driveway installed. It looks great and is holding up nicely.

1/01/1970It's taken a year for me to get this review online. We discussed the pros and cons of replacing the concrete with the same plain concrete, discussed stamped concrete,... read more and pavers with Anselmo. We thought he was very objective with his thoughts on the pros and cons of the options. We chose pavers.
We are very, very happy with our pavers on the driveway. A year later, we are still getting compliments on how nice the driveway looks.
Yes, it took a while for the work to begin. Jackhammering up the old concrete is noisy and annoyed our neighbors (but squirrels annoy them too). The waiting and the noise were worth the end result.
We were treated very professionally. We have nothing but high praise for the work that was done.Gigi M.

They were able to find a color pattern that matched our existing custom... read more pavement and did a meticulous job with the installation. It was fairly priced and done in a few days. I would recommended AG & Associates to anyone for concrete work.

With over 30+ years of home ownership, our recent project with AG & Associates was the best experience we've had. Anselmo (owner) and his team were extremely professional, timely, and... read more reliable and did first-rate work. Pricing was fair and competitive, especially for the quality of work. Anselmo was always checking in on the job. Crew Lead Tony, along with Luis and Antonio did an exceptional job of keeping us informed on what had been completed and what work was remaining. All project deadlines were met and we couldn't be happier with the final product. We have never seen such a hard-working crew. They built a surround for our pizza oven and added workspace counters. They covered and capped ugly seating areas around our patio and pétanque court which now look fantastic!
We highly recommend AG & Associates.The D.
